In a historic achievement, Team India has set a new benchmark in Test cricket by recording 50+ run partnerships for each of the first five wickets in a single innings. This remarkable feat, accomplished during the second Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, marks the first time in over six decades that such a consistent top-order performance has been witnessed.
The innings was anchored by captain Shubman Gill, who scored an unbeaten 129, marking his fifth Test century of the year. He was well-supported by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who contributed a solid 175 runs before being run out. Other notable contributions came from KL Rahul (38), Sai Sudharsan (87), and Dhruv Jurel (44), showcasing the depth and consistency of India’s batting lineup.
This achievement not only underscores India’s dominance in the ongoing series but also highlights the team’s exceptional cohesion and depth in the longer format of the game.
